Now they have their own brick and mortar and it's available every day except for Mondays, they're closed. It's a Mexican restaurant but I've never had anything but the grilled chicken thus far.

I tried their bbq ribs which I have never had before and they were amazing. They had a great char on them. Their tacos are still very good. I enjoy their carnitas meat. They don't give you the side of onions on your plate which is t a bad thing, but something I prefer.

Heads up; it's cash only (atm with $3 fee in the building) and 1 bill per table. I ordered 5 quesadillas to sample the different meats. I'll go from best to worst. The cabeza was rich, but not too overpowering which I've experienced before. No fat either which was great. The asada had a nice flavor and was perfectly tender. The pollo was equally flavorful and tender. All 3 get an A grade. The carnitas was pretty good, but not as tender as the others. Solid B. Finally, the pastor was a bit underwhelming. Simply too saucy to fully enjoy it. A C grade on that. Only negative would be how greasy they were. The tortillas were absolutely drenched in grease which wasn't great. Overall, a solid experience. Wish I would've degreased the tortillas more.

I love me a California Burrito so I ordered takeout to try Mezcal's version. Food was ready within…read morea couple of minutes of when it was said it would be ready. Cool spot they have. Little patio with some seats and then couple different dining areas. Started with chips and guac. Very big portion on chips and the guac was large as well. The chips were fine. Could have used some more salt (most places don't salt them enough), but they were fresh so that was good. The guac was solid. Nothing noteworthy, but I liked it. As for the burrito, it was very good. Nice portion and the asada was very tender and flavorful. Never know with that. The fries were crispy as well which is always a worry. I had some of the salsa it came with which really elevated the burrito. If you're in the area, stop by. Would return.

The salsa is nice and has a little bit of spice but Everything else was lacking flavor and salt. The veggie fajitas only came with tortillas, no rice beans salsa, side salad nothing. The torta did not have beans in it. The enchiladas were lacking flavor same as their rice and beans Liz we asked for side sauce and the gave us green tomatillo sauce but again not much flavor. They never came to offer refills on water and even when we asked for it they never brought it. I think that was more of an understaffed place. The ambiance was great it is a lovely well decorated space and their shop next door is great we got some churros that were fresh and warm. I really hope next time we have better luck with the food.

We had the combo plate and the parillada de mariscos, as well as the spicy guacamole. The spicy guacamole is made with habaneros, by the way, so caution if you think you like spicy but are not ready for the heat! My only disappointment was that I was looking forward to grilled seafood (hence the parillada), but the seafood came sautéed instead, leaving the calamari rings a bit softer than I like them, but the lemon butter sauce was delicious.

Make sure you make reservations, you're gonna need them. The vibes inside are beautiful, it's dark with some great earthy decor as their ambience. They have a gorgeous bar that you can glance at, and get very excited because their drinks are divine. The weight staff is super friendly, very efficient and very attentive. We started with the Agua Chile - kind of a funner take on your standard ceviche with some gorgeous shrimp and that sauce is drinkable. Esquites were extra fun with asparagus and corn, so it gave some extra dimension to the vegetable bites and different textures as we kind of bid into it and as you can see in the picture just covered in cheese extremely good. I have to say the Tetela was one of my favorite bites, just the attention to detail on the brazing of the carrot with the lovely tortilla/masa combination, truly worth it. We also got the fish with the two different salsas and that was such a divine bite and it made it more exciting that you were essentially getting a two and one. The fish was extremely flaky, but with a stunning grilled to it. Overall amazing. The deserts were both delicious but I would go back for the Pan De Elote everytime... I mean this is how corn should be spotlighted and celebrated. It was a gorgeous meal, with flavors that make my tastebuds dance with every bite. Vecino is here to stay!

To preface... as someone who grew up in Mexico, vecino hits like food from home every time. I have…read morebeen six times now and not once have I been disappointed. I have been trying Mexican restaurants all over the U.S. and no where compares to vecino and to think I found my favorite in Detroit amazes me. It truly is worth every penny. For what to order: All their appetizers are great. We usually switch it up and are satisfied with each one that we've ordered. The Totopos with salsa are a must and their guac is great as well. For mains- the asada del día is our go to. It is always cooked to perfection and comes with fresh tortillas. And it is hard for me to come by a tortilla in the U.S. that I enjoy. But here, they are excellent. They import their corn from Mexico and you can tell. This is served with bone marrow and some garlic onion spread that goes great on the taco. For dessert- their tres leches is amazing. The coconut cream pairs so well with the cake. I could eat like 10 of them. As if it's not obvious at this point vecino is my favorite restaurant in Detroit and one of my tops in the world. I will not be surprised if they are the first ones in Detroit to secure the Michelin star
